OF Speed.
Aa numerous citizens have expressed sne
| opinion that the difficulties Of "'".e'
travel. and the decrease Of passenger trame
after the holidays, would put . stop to tne
fast train service on the Northern Pacine'
a MINER reporter asked Mr.. McCaia aoou'
il. Mr.. McCaig expressed his views as io''
lows: ALTHOUGH the Northern Pac'nc Inn
| tied express has reduced the time consumed
| under the former schedule between 6t. fau!
| and Butte, by eighteen hours and
| fty.Ave minutes, it really runs st q very
moderate rate OF speed. the running Tins
being only 81 miles an hour. The grea'
| gain in time is made chiefly by avoiding
stops, the fast train making only twenty
stops between Garrison and st. Paul
while ordinary trains make over zoo
| There is 40 good reason Why this rate o.
| speed should not be kept up with psriert
safety throughout the coming winter, f'rat
| q rule the Northern Pacific suffers very
little delay from snow. Last winter, o.
course, was an exception. So Tar this 'a'i'
! the passenger ira fic has been very heavy,
and the prospects are that during the next
thres months it will be greatly in excess o.
last winter. Butte people will be fully sat
isied with the new schedule of the Northein
Pacific and Montana Union. Hitherto
they have sufferei n great deal OF annoy
ance and Inconvenience by the Wretched

nle gives passengers from Butte every IA

FAST AND LUXURIOUS TRAVEL
to all points East and West, both trains
being fully equipped with dining and sleep
ing cars. Passengers for Philipsburg, Mis-.
s"ula, Helena ~ other local points can
now leave Butte in the morning. devote
four to six hours to business, and return
the IA me evening. The express train for
the East, which leaves Garrison at noon
daily. stops at all stations, but is by no
means Il slow train, rs it reaches st. Paul
and MINNEAPOLIS in advance OF the limited
that caves Garrison nine hours later.
Superintendents Dickinson, ..of the Montana

in doing so. Just as soon Us the new time

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Harlan CO Sc.

Most everyone eligible to jury duty in
the little town of Washington has been
subpenaed to attend Court at Woodland
during the Harlan murder trial. The
Woodland Mail Of yesterday says: To-
day the case Of J. H. Harlan, charged with
the murder Of Everett L. Craft, will be
called in the Superior Court. This is the
second trial of Harlan for this otfense, the
jury at his first trial having failed to agree,
eight voting for acquittal and four for con-
viction. The crime with which Harlan is
charged occurred on Sunday, February Z,
1886 at the Byrns Hotel in this city The
trial excited much interest, and the second
will doubtless have the same hold upon
the publics attention. 1t is the opinion of
many that the trial will be postponed, but
q prominent attorney informed a Nail re-
porter Yesterday that, in his opinion, the
trial would go right along. Over 165 tales
men have been summoned to appear, and
it seems as if q jury ought to be selected
from this number. Experts, however, say
it will be next to impossible to secure
twelve good men and true, who have not
formed some opinion of this case. The at
torneys thus far secured for the defense are
Judge S. G. benson, of Sacramento, and
Joseph Gag and J. C. Ball, of Woodland.
trict Attorney F. S. Sprague, assisted by B.
Clark, of Woodland, and Hon. A L. Hart
of Sacramento. 1t is also rumored that
one of the most prominent lawyers in the
State will be retained by the defense, but
nothing positive is known"
The following came by telegraph last
evening The Harlan murder case CON-
menced in the Superior Court this after
noon. The Courtroom was filled with
summoned talesmen and witnesses. Mr..
Harlan appeared in Court with his counsel.
When the roll of talesmen was called it
was found that the number reached 10S
The work of securing jury was at once
commenced. and when the Court ad-
iourned, at o'clock this afternoon, seven
talesmen had been examined. Of these,
six were excused, but the seventh, John
Hollingsworth, was excepted. He is a
capitalist of Woodland, and has known
Harlan for twenty-five years. 1t was not
supposed by either side that a juror would
be found so soon. All seem to be confident
thai the jury will not be secured before a
month, if at all

THE DENNY CASE.
The Father of the Outraged Girl Goel
on the War-Path.

The Father of the Outraged Girl Goes
on the War-Path.
]. J. Shoup, the father of the little girl
that was outraged by Fred. Denny, arrived
yesterday morning at an early hour from
Rio Vista. He is hunter by occupation,
and makes living for himself and family
by hunting for the markets. AS soon as
the boat struck the wharf at the foot of X
street, Shoup snrang ashore and walked up
to the city prison. He made himself
known to the officer in charge (Mr. Sulli-
van, and asked to see Denny. Sullivan told
him he had better wait till the Chief arrived
Chief Dillman reached the Office at s
o'clock and was introduced to Shoup, who
repeated his request to see Denny. The
Chief said he saw no objection to allowing
him to see the prisoner, at the same time
ordering officer Sullivan to search the Wis
itor. Shoup objected to this, saying if he
was disarmed he did not care to see the
destroyer Of his happiness. Sullivan obeyed
the Chiefs order and found concealed upon
Shoup's person a pistol, a seven-shooter
American bulldog, which would have been
emptied into the worthless carcass of
Denny had the father been allowed to enter
the cell of the brute who had so liendishly
outraged his child. Later IN the day, when
Denny was being conducted from his cell
TO the Courtroom, Shoup made an effort to
reach him, but was prevented from doing
so by the officers in charge. Officers Far
rell and Lowell have been detailed to work
up this case. They went twenty miles up
the river yesterday to serve subpenaes and
gather evidence in the case. The case will
be presented to the Grand Jury at 1:30 p. NJ
to-day, and several witnesses have been
summoned to appear before that body at
that hour
